Real ale pub for Saturday 15:23 - Nov 10 with 1424 views | KungfuBlue | Hi, Im bringing in an older gent (80 yrs) with me for his first game of the season. I normally meet a few of the lads at the K Bar pre match but want to do something different. Arriving into the Train station about 130pm where is walkable (bear in mind the age) that does a decent pint pre match and wouldn't be too far to get back to the ground without rushing. Was thinking Lord Nelson but that's a decent hike out for an oldy. Any ideas? |  | | |  |

The Wolsey is always packed before a game, so it will most certainly be open, but might not be the best place if you want somewhere to sit down. |  | |  |

A good choice - good range of beer and quick service. Usually have a hot food stand out in the alley/garden |  | |  |
